8 Claims. (61. 132-38) This invention relates to hair rollers or clamps. A primary object of my invention is to provide a hair roller that positively holds the hair in arranged position.

Another object is to provide a roller that prevents slipping of the hair once it is dressed.

A further object is to provide a roller that holds the hair in an orderly and attractive manner.

Another object is to provide a roller that can readily be put on and taken off the hair.

A further object is to provide a roller that holds the hair without the necessity of hair pins.

Still another object is to provide a roller that is simple in construction and economical in manufacture.

The invention will be better understood from the description thereof to follow taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of my improved hair roller.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the hair roller with a modified form of clip at each end.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of one of the hinged clips on the form of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the improved roller in initial position on the head of the wearer.

Figure 5 is a. view similar to Figure 4 showing the roller in operative position. a

Figure 6 is a fragmentary side view of a modifled form of roller.

Figure 7 is a sectional view taken on the plane indicated by the line 7-7 of Figure 6.

Referring to the drawing, my improved hair roller comprises two elongated members or straps 10 forming the body of the device. These members may be made of celluloid or other suit- 0 able material. They are semi-circular in shape and crimped or corrugated throughout their terminates in flat plain portions 13. The members 10 are connected together at their fiat portions 13 and loosely mounted ona pin or bolt 14, providing a hinge action between the members. when these members are moved to overlapping shown in Figure 1, the crimps 11 and depressions 12 of the upper member are aligned with the crimps and depressions in the lower member.

Mounted pivotally on each of the pins 14 is a resilient clip or bar 15. Each clip is formed with a hook portion 16. As'will be apparent from Figure 1, the clips are mounted on the ends of the members 10 so that the open end of the hook on one end is facing in a direction opposite to the open end of the hook on the other end.

In the form shown in Figure 15 has no hooked portion.

Referring to the form shown in Figure 6, the lower strap 10 is formed with an upstanding 2, the clip or bar 5, providing a curl 17, which In using the form shown in Figure 2, when the hair is rolled comhair against the roller. This clip ,or arm thus 0 eliminates any necessity for hair pins.

In using the form shown in Figure 6, the hair, when inserted betweenthe strap members, forms ing out.

By reason of my improved roller, the hair between the strap members 10 is prevented from slipping sidewise' by the crimps or corrugations and the hair is thus held in a fixed orderly fashion.

A hair roller comprising a pair of overlapping straps hinged at loosely engage each other when in overlapped position, each of said straps being formed with corrugations,.an upstanding flange formed on one edge of vone or said straps and a downwardly extending flange formed on the =opposite edge of the other strap and a bar pivotally mounted at each hinged end.

6. A hair roller comprising a pair of substantially semi-circular members hinged to each other at their ends to rotate on a diametrical axis into overlapping position to clamp hair therebetween, one of said members being corrugated transversely to separate the clamped hair into strands.

'l. A hair roller comprising a pair of substantially semi-circular members hinged to each other at their ends to rotate on a diametrical axis into overlapping position and an arm on each circle formed vby said members adapted to rotate on said axis.

8. A hair roller comprising aninner and an outer substantially semi-circular strap, said straps being hinged to each other at their ends to swing about a diametrical axis into overlapping position and a resilient arm mounted to rotate about said axis to press against the inside of the inner strap.
